Candidate COD

Candidate COD: COD with improved quality and standardization. ('created in  the Process' phase in COD Cycle). Rationale for terms: common terminology in country/region, describe the state of the COD (phase in cycle), used in tagging on HDX. See COD Cycle.

COD

See Common Operational DatasetS (CODs)

COD-AB

An administrative Boundary COD is a spatial dataset that identifies the various administrative level boundaries, names and unique codes (P-codes) in a country. It is a core COD, and provides a spatial/visual way to view and analyse data as well as a common way of referring to places allowing datasets to be aggregated and analysed more easily. See Common Operational Datasets (CODs).

COD-PS

Population Statistics COD is a tabular baseline demographic dataset that s (ideally) disaggregated by age and sex and presented at various levels of administrative levels in a country (includes P-codes). It is a core COD that is used to identify initial affected numbers and understand the pre-emergency situation. See: See Common Operational Datasets (CODs).

COD-CS

See Country-Specific COD

COD-HP

Humanitarian Profile COD that provides the number of people affected, including when relevant: displaced, missing, injured, dead, as well as people in need.  It is a Core COD that is only available post crisis. It is used to make programmatic decisions. For more information see the Humanitarian Profile COD section.See the

COD Cycle

Effective COD development is composed of six COD cycle functions:  1) plan, 2) collect, 3) process, 4) endorse, 5) communicate and 6) maintain.  See Common See Common Operational Dataset cycle.

Common Operational Dataset (COD)

Authoritative reference datasets needed to support operations and decision-making for all actors in a humanitarian response. They provide essential baseline data and data standards that allow humanitarian actors to collaborate, coordinate and exchange information. CODs provide the basis for a common operational picture and a shared situational awareness. .

Core Common Operatioanal Datasets

'Core CODs are required in all countries with ongoing humanitarian operations or in which emergency response preparedness (ERP) activities are underway. They provide a critical data standard and support initial analysis in the first 48 hours of a new emergency of impact, scope and scale and thus inform decisions on any subsequent response. There are three Core themes: Administrative Boundaries, Population Statistics, and Humanitarian Profile.  See Core Common Operational Datatsets: Administrative Boundary (COD-AB), Population Statistics (COD-PS), and Humanitarian Profile (COD-HP).

Endorsed CODCOD which has been accepted as the reference dataset to be used by the IM network in country.  See Common Operational Dataset cycle.
ERPEmergency Response Preparedness
To enhance emergency preparedness within the multilateral humanitarian system
. To improve the humanitarian system's readiness to respond to breaking crises, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)
has
developed the Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP) approach
, which was adopted for field testing in August 2015. The approach is based on a review of relief operations over the past decade and enables the humanitarian community to proactively prepare for crises requiring a coordinated international response.
.  The aim is to increase the speed and volume of life-saving assistance delivered in the first four to six weeks of an emergency. For more information see: The ERP approach
